Police Memorial Day is celebrated every year in the country on 21 October to remember the dedication of police personnel.
The idea behind this day is to remember the sacrifices and pay tribute to the brave men who died during the attack by Chinese soldiers in Hot Springs.
On this day in 1959, 10 brave police personnel sacrificed their lives fighting heavily armed Chinese soldiers in Hot Springs, Ladakh.
In the memory of these police personnel, 'National Police Memorial' was constructed in New Delhi in the year 2018.
Recognition to celebrate this day was given in January, 1960.
